ganized last Thursday night We
have not learned the names of the
officers elect. We hope the coun-
Gil will prove a success.
A young man named Williams
was arrested on last Monday by
Deputy Sheriff McCan and lodged
in jail in default of bond. He is
charged with something about
yearling.
Sheriff Miller sold on Tuesday
last before the courthouse door
considerable real estate under exc
c=ti0r IT al went low down. the
parties in whose interest execu-
tons were issued buying the prop
erty in. But few in the county or
elsewhere knew of the sale, though
the sheriff advertised as the law
requires.
Mrs. Dodge informs us that Col.
Dodge is now in Alabama selling
the right to manufacture and use
his patent devices, and notwith-
standing the hard times and scar
city of money he is meeting with
considerable success. Some months
ago the Colonel and his son was
charged in the United States courts
with stopping the United States
mail. He had his trial at Waco
several weeks ago, plead his own
case and both the Colonel and his
son were acquitted. 1t was shown
that no offense was committed
There has been considerable blow
about this matter and we make this
statement in justice to Col. Dodge
and his son.
There is considerable railroad
talk all over the state and tits safe
to say that there will be built in
Texas this year many miles of
railroad, but what direction these
roads will be built or what coun-
ties in the west they will pass
through it is impossible just now
to tell. San Angelo is expecting
road to that point from some di-
rection during the year; Mason
and Coleman think they are sure
of the Arkansas Pass road and San
Saba has railroad prospects. If
Mason and Coleman get the north
west extension of the Arkansas Pass
road it will certainly pass through
this county and Brady will be on
the line. We can only watch and
wait. One thing is certain we need
a road and need it mighty bad
We learn from DR.. Harcourt
that on lest Friday night about
one mile of Sellman Bros, fence
was cut. Messrs Dick and Charlie
Sellman came to town on Friday
to get DR.. Harcourt to go out and
do some surveying. It was late
before they left town and about 9
o'clock when they got to the pas
ture on their way home. As they
drove along the line of fence they |
discovered something wrong, and
ON getting out and making an ex-
animation they found that the fence
was cut. Off some distance from
the road, on hill, they discover
ed man standing who was doubt
less a sentinel on the lookout. |
This satisfied them that the
knights of the nippers were then
at work. After consulting they
concluded to pass through where
the fence had been cut, hurry to
the house, get an additional force
and return and try if possible to
capture the cutters, but while they
were gone the parties took the
alarm and on their return they
found nothing, but about a mile of
fence cut. 1t is to be hoped that
these destroyers of property will
yet be apprehended and brought
to justice.

By whispering and Cycling in
public gatherings young people os-
casion a great deal of annoyance
to older persons. To say the least
of it, it is a breach of etiquette to
whisper or in any other manner to
unnecessarily disturb people
when they have assembled for par
ticular purposes. Besides it is a
violation of law to disturb or an
noy persons in public gatherings.

Columbia: The way the Canadian
Pacific railroad is doing now is positive
ly laughable from an economic point
of view. They are carrying goods from
the United States through Canada into
the United States, paying transportation
at both ends and carrying them over
their own line for virtually nothing.
This may be building up an empire,

comparatively well settled places,
prices are but slightly lower. On Spring
and Main streets-the two principal
business streets of the city-the land is
worth from 81 POO to $500 per foot

property FULLY justify the value. To
give you an idea of the population and
wealth pouring in here, l am told upon
good authority that the four banks of
the city of Los Angeles hold nearly
Sl3,0O0,C0) of deposits belonging to
people who have recently acquired res

migration to Washington territory and
Oregon to be as heavy as at the present

California, and is extending north TO
the international line. The class of
people who are taking up land in the,
north are better than the average of
past seasons They all have money;
not fortunes, bat sufficient to keep
them independent of the farm for two
years or more. There are no pauper
foreigners among them to make them
selves burden. Most of the people
who GO north engage in stock-raising or
dairy farming. Washinton Territory
is considered unapproachable as dairy

In Our Little Men and Women for
August we learn that a village of ants
numbers sometimes half million and
that all the inhabitants not only know
street, but remember one another for
months. A naturalist found that out
by catching some and keeping them
four months and then putting them back
among their old neighbors. Their
friends were so glad to see them that
they actually took them up and caressed
and carried them in their arms! Ants
talk with their horns. That is, they
toss their horns and understand one
another. Little folks have the advant-
age nowadays of picking up great
deal of knowledge in learning to read.

Messrs. G. A. Mathews, General Manager of the
M"nson Railroad, and James Mitchell supcrinten
dent of the lIarland Railroad, were in Belfast last
week as representatives of the Mitchell Construc
ton Company, in the interest of the proposed ex
tension Of the Monson road. The plan is to extend
this road from Monson junction to the north line of
Wellington, Ii miles, and when work is begun at
that end Mr.. Mitchell will begin to build from
iiartahi to connect with the Monson road at the
north line of Wellington. He will also have fifteen
miles to build, and provision las been made for
ms thirty miles Of road, with existing roads will
give CONTINUOUS line from Belfast to Mooschcad
Lake, using the Bangor and Piscataquis from
Monson Junction. The building of direct road
from that junction to Greenyille will be an after
consideration The Grecnvilc people want it
built and it probably will be, but when the gap of
thlrty miles between IIartland and Monson juno
ton is bridged, Belfast will have connections with
the Megantic and Northern Pacific roads and di
rect line to the Lake, and will be the nearest sea
port outlet for these roads
10 ensure the necessary funds for the work. the
Mitchell Construction Company want to dispose of
a limited amount of six per cent bonds in Mainc
and to so allot them that the various cities will
have an interest in the undertaking. The road
will be bonded at the rate of $4,000 per milc and
statistics of the business that must go over this
route indicate that the net earnings will be more
than ample to pay the interest on the bonds 1t is
a case where business awaits the road and not, as
is often the case, where road is built to deyelop
